You're missing the point entirely.
You're arguing like an emo teenager about how things ought be, ignoring the obvious, gigantic impediments to bringing about your ideal.
I'm giving you a more realistic strategy that is theoretically actionable under the current legal environment.
the kinds of bad habits these bitches
TBH, your arguments are so cartoonishly outlandish I'm starting to suspect you're a false flag poster.
Because the few percent who genuinely do have the intellect and ability to pursue meaningful careers have the constitution on their side to say they have a right to do so.
So long as the current constitution stands, any attempt to exclude is doomed to fail, so it's more productive to focus on cutting off the supply side. Shutting down the wasteful degree programs and switching over to a Conservatory model that will achieve the same end result without the fight over first principles and rights.
This is the wrong framing.
What we need to do is cut many of the arts programs out of university entirely and switch over to a Conservatory model like they have in France. If you're not familiar with how conservatory works, it's a bit like how Minor League Baseball works in the US, except for arts.
Instead of taking all comers, it's a hyper competitive, "up or out" model where the truly skilled earn a pathway into the spotlight, and the posers who don't have the commitment or the talent are wrung out.
I found another article that reports NA & EU staff have been told the cuts will mostly eliminate NA/EU publishing & advertising, and cut some from IT. Another way to think of it is that there won't be anyone left to speak for the Square Enix brand who isn't directly under the thumb of JP corporate.
They're going full "Assimilate this!"
The Group will retire its business unit-based organizational design and strive to establish an operationally integrated organization with the goal of revamping its internal title development footprint and bringing more capabilities in-house.
The Group will pursue integrated sales & marketing operations in Japan and make efficiency of publishing by consolidating the marketing functions that were previously spread across creative business units, expanding shared knowledge, and eliminating duplicate functions.
This is the most important takeaway. Japan is clawing back brand control from NA and EU. Which for our purposes is good. They don't say it's a response to DEI, but effectively that's what it is, pulling the eject handle and dumping the foreign business units because they're contaminated.
Don't know about that
True story, the US Army did casualty analyses of WW1 and determined that artillery barrages have a diminishing returns effect as survivors get into cover. It's what governed the development of time-on-target missions, to maximize the amount of metal falling in the opening seconds.
Time-on-target: Rather than assigning a battery to shell a target for a period of time, a central HQ directs ALL available batteries to put a couple shells on target, synchronized so that all shells arrive at the same time regardless of travel distance. MRSI (multiple-round-simultaneous-impact) takes the same concept and uses different powder charges and elevations in the same gun to get even more rounds to arrive at the same time
have now taught gamers to fight back HARD for results
This is not news, it's just rarely been successful because what's necessary is for the response to be instantaneous.
It's kinda like artillery. How long you bombard a target has basically no impact on effectiveness. The effectiveness is determined by how much boom you get in the opening seconds of the barrage. Once the survivors are in cover you're not doing any damage.
or we begin to bully the fuck out of woke retards
Bullies don't win from the position of outsiders.
Linus Torvalds can be a bully successfully. Because he built up a thing with himself as BDFL. Nobody can tell him it's not his. We need to do the same.
there's a few things I'd still like to grab
The first step to killing a franchise is that it must be dead to you.
Check my house, you'll find not one piece of 40k merch. Not even that 40k munchkin game or the FFG sourcebooks. Not even the Cain books.
but a minimum level of keeping work and private life separate is healthy
Our enemies do not act so.
Now my job is in tech for a company that has basically no money, so I have the liberty to be as mean as I want in making sure that vendors understand their call is not welcome.
It actually happens all the time but you weren't paying attention. Normally these events make the local news and doesn't go any further. It's only because the national news is keyed up for "shit hits bridge" stories that you're aware of it.
